Detroit-based Sachse Construction is auctioning hard hats designed by local female artists as part of a fundraising program for charities that are focused on women’s empowerment.
Artists Olivia Guterson, Nicole Jarecz and India Solomon are partaking in the Hard Hats for Detroit initiative.
Proceeds from Guterson’s hard hat will benefit the Empowerment Plan, which provides employment and education to people experiencing homelessness.
Jarecz’s hard hat will support Alternatives for Girls, which provides services to homeless and at-risk youth.
Proceeds from Solomon’s hard hat will support BasBlue, which provides mentorship and funding opportunities to underrepresented women and nonbinary individuals.
Current bidding for the three hard hats has surpassed $2,000 apiece, and the online auction will end Wednesday, Dec. 3.
